Unlike acetaldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitors and other disulfiram-like drugs, alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors such as fomepizole (brand name Antizol) inhibit the metabolism of alcohol into acetaldehyde, thereby increasing and extending the effects of alcohol and reducing its toxicity. [4]
Amoxicillin may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, namely nausea and vomiting. [26] To eliminate these adverse effects, take the medication after a meal. Besides, this antibiotic may disrupt bowel microflora and induce diarrhea. [27] In rare cases, amoxicillin may induce risk of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea. [26] [28]
Disulfiram is a medication used to support the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to ethanol (drinking alcohol).
